I'm looking forward to participating.This is a little different than the other forum I'm in, so please excuse any mistakes I might make. Hope my picture posts.

Been a 1997.5 Q45 (Pewter, Tan) owner for the last 6.5years. Has been a wonderful ownership experience.

142K Miles. following the advice of this forum religiously, all fluid flush every 2yrs or 30K miles and I have been all set. All flushes done at the dealership due to lack of knowledge of other mechanics with similar service offerings (machines for ATF flush for example) in bay area.

All stock now. Was on larger tires for 3yrs, but change back to stock size - more gas mileage!!

I get about 18MPG in city/mixed driving and have seen 22-23MPG in long-drives.Now working on a in-dash navigation upgrade project and I will take that in another thread.

cheersPhalSan Jose, CA

sorry to chime in, but after recently being exposed to the VIP, or bippu whatever you call it scene, i have been dumbfounded by the beauty of these big bodied machines. they are amazing. and as for you mike, or executiveA4, yours my friend, takes the effin cake. i want a Q45T very bad, lookin at yours makes me want one even more. i have recently changed a lot of parts on my maxima to give it a more sleek, JDM look and lots of folks think i have lost my mind. they will see soon enough when VIP hits even harder in the states. so sorry to bore everyone, hopefully i'll be among the rest of you in the future. and by the way, mike, if you would be so kind to list some sites of the companies where you got your products, that would be great. oh, and how to get a subscription to VIP car and VIP style magazines.

You can actually get much of what you need directly through Mike.

Hey wassup guys Its an HOnOR to be a member. Just bought my y33 its a 97 q45 silver/black with 86,000 miles. I live in Rochester Ny and I took 4 greyhounds and 25 hour ride to pick up my y33 in Ames, Iowa then I drove it back in heavy rain with no brakes 967 mile's non stop 18 hours taking turns with my dad - No Problems filled up 3 times $37, $34, $32. I only paid $5,050 for her in the end when I got home my total price was $226 bus tickets, $50 for food, $103 gas, $300 brakes, $5050 car = $5730 owning a Q45 -=PriceLess=-

Picked mine up on 1.27.2007... 1999 Q45t, Silver Exterior/Tan Interior, currently stock, but will be modding out soon. Also have a Super Black/Black 94 300ZX TT that is at a Stage 3, but will be selling in the near future because of new addition to family... Hate to see her go, but for now have to do the "Right" thing!

Well the weather finally cleared up on Thursday night and I cleaned my car in and out. My pics are not my BEST by far. I got a new camera and thought id try it out. I have had no help with the pictures other than some editing in photoshot cs. The pictures we taking in downtown Wichita with a Canon A640 DC I bought just after christmas.

Please any suggestions would help me in the future. Thanks and Enjoy!

This is actually a Nissan Cedric. I had one when I was stationed in Japan. I had a 1992 Nissan Cedric with GPS, remote control, refrigerator in the back seat with 18 inch rims.

Don't you know that 4x4 gap is there so old ladies can tackle speed bumps and RR tracks without so much as touching the brakes? People in America need to be able to drive over any obstacle without slowing down, duh

Seriously though, that's a very pretty 98. The wheels you ordered are interesting looking, I like 'em, should be nice with the spacers. At first I was like oh man, but then I saw you have spacers too. Can't wait to see it done!

Post by **cullenj76** » Fri Mar 23, 2007 1:23 pm

are those old racing sparcos? I've always oddly loved those wheels. A 25mm spacer on the front and a 20mm rear would be nice fitment.

Post by **owinbush** » Tue Mar 27, 2007 8:44 am

They are racing sparcos....but not going to be running them. I have my eye on something else. I'll keep you posted.
